Svelte Hook Form

A lightweight form management library for Svelte or SvelteKit that provides form state management, validation, and form handling with a React Hook Form-like API. Built with TypeScript for excellent developer experience.

Installation

npm install svelte-form-hook
yarn add svelte-form-hook

Usage

<script lang="ts">
  import { useForm } from "svelte-form-hook";
  import Input from "./Input.svelte";

  const { register, handleSubmit, formState } = useForm({
    defaultValues: {
      name: "",
      email: "",
      password: "",
    },
  });

  const onSubmit = (data: any) => {
    console.log(data);
  };
</script>

<form onsubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
  <input {...register("name")} />
  <input {...register("email")} />
  <input {...register("password")} />
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Define Types

import { z } from "zod";

export const loginSchema = z.object({
  email: z
    .string()
    .min(1, { message: "Email is required" })
    .email({ message: "Please enter a valid email address" }),
  password: z.string().min(4, { message: "Password is required" }),
  form: z.string().optional(),
});

export type LoginFormValues = z.infer<typeof loginSchema>;

Usage with Types, validation and Form Provider

<script lang="ts">
  import { useForm } from "svelte-form-hook";
  import { zodResolver } from "svelte-form-hook/zod-resolver";
  import { FormProvider } from "svelte-form-hook/components";

  const form = useForm<LoginFormValues>({
    defaultValues: {
      name: "",
      email: "",
      password: "",
    },
    resolver: zodResolver(loginSchema),
  });

  const { register, handleSubmit, formState } = form;

  const onSubmit = (data: any) => {
    console.log(data);
  };
</script>

<FormProvider {form}>
    <form onsubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
    <input {...register("name")} />
    <EmailInput />
    <PasswordInput />
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
</FormProvider>

<!-- EmailInput.svelte -->
<script lang="ts">
  import { useFormContext } from 'svelte-form-hook';

  const {
    register,
    errors,
  } = useFormContext();

  $: emailError = $errors?.email?.message;
</script>

<label>
  Email
  <input type="email" use:register={'email'} />
</label>
{#if emailError}
  <span class="error">{emailError}</span>
{/if}

<!-- PasswordInput.svelte -->
<script lang="ts">
  import { useFormContext } from 'svelte-form-hook';

  const {
    register,
    errors,
  } = useFormContext();

  $: passwordError = $errors?.password?.message;
</script>

<label>
  Password
  <input type="password" use:register={'password'} />
</label>
{#if passwordError}
  <span class="error">{passwordError}</span>
{/if}
